Evaluation of a Positive Psychological Intervention to Reduce Work Stress among Rural Community Health Workers in India
Efforts to reduce work stress among frontline health workers in India, namely the rural Accredited Social Health Activists or ‘ASHAs’ (resident women, lay health workers) have predominantly emphasized on ‘extrinsic’ variables (e.g., financial incentives, or enhanced supervision), with little consideration of ‘intrinsic’ factors like the wellbeing of ASHAs themselves or building their abilities in managing work stress. ‘Character-strengths’ based …
‘I am happy because I am pregnant, but becoming a mother is not easy,’ the experience of pregnancy, antenatal depression, and perception of yoga in rural pregnant women in Maharashtra, a qualitative s…
Antenatal depression is a significant public health problem. It is critical to understand the ‘experience’ of pregnancy and the overall socio-cultural context of pregnant women to design and implement interventions to address antenatal depression effectively. The evidence base in this field is predominantly in the form of quantitative cross-sectional studies. There are few qualitative studies from low- and middle-income country settings. This stu…
Development of a character-strengths based coaching program for rural community health workers to address their work stress in Madhya Pradesh, India
While rural ‘Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs)’ delivering primary care at the village-level in India experience high levels of work stress and burnout, little is known about the potential of positive psychology interventions in helping them respond to stressful situations. We aim to describe a systematic approach to designing and developing a ‘character-strengths based’ coaching program for rural ASHAs to help reduce their work-stress a…
"We are everyone's Ashas but who's there for us?" a qualitative exploration of perceptions of work stress and coping among rural frontline workers in Madhya Pradesh, India
This study will inform the development of a strengths-based coaching intervention to address work stress among ASHAs. The findings are relevant to building the evidence on alleviation of work stress among female frontline cadres in low-resource settings globally
Covid-19 mental health impact and responses in low-income and middle-income countries
A guide to systems-level, participatory, theory-informed implementation research in global health
Implementation research is a multidisciplinary field that addresses the complex phenomenon of how context influences our ability to deliver evidence-informed healthcare. There is increasing realisation of the importance of applying robust implementation research to scale-up life-saving interventions that meet health-related sustainable development goals. However, the lack of high-quality implementation research is impeding our ability to meet the…
An Integrated Approach to Improve Maternal Mental Health and Well-Being During the Covid-19 Crisis
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruption of normal life across the globe, severely affecting the already vulnerable populations such as the pregnant women. Maternal mental health and well-being is a public health priority and the evidence about the impact of COVID-19 on mental health status of pregnant women is gradually emerging. The findings of the recently published studies suggest that increased risk perception about contracting CO…
Mental health in the Pacific
The Pacific region faces a significant and growing burden of noncommunicable diseases and mental disorders. An emerging issue is the increasing overlap between physical and mental health conditions, which are often the result of interactive effects and lead to more severe consequences. In addition, climate change is amplifying health risks, as it poses both physical and existential threats to Pacific Island communities. The sustainable developmen…
Health service costs and their association with functional impairment among adults receiving integrated mental health care in five low- and middle-income countries
This study examines the level and distribution of service costs—and their association with functional impairment at baseline and over time—for persons with mental disorder receiving integrated primary mental health care. The study was conducted over a 12-month follow-up period in five low- and middle-income countries participating in the Programme for Improving Mental health carE study (Ethiopia, India, Nepal, South Africa and Uganda). Data were …
"Is there a medicine for these tensions?" Barriers to treatment-seeking for depressive symptoms in rural India
Low demand for depression treatment reflected discrepancies between the community's perceived needs and a narrow biomedical model of mental health. Meeting their needs may require a radical change in approach that acknowledges the social determinants of distress, and the interactions between mental and physical health. The capabilities approach may provide a framework for more holistically conceptualising people's needs
Factors associated with health service utilisation for common mental disorders
Strengthening mental health system governance in six low- and middle-income countries in Africa and South Asia
Poor governance has been identified as a barrier to effective integration of mental health care in low- and middle-income countries. Governance includes providing the necessary policy and legislative framework to promote and protect the mental health of a population, as well as health system design and quality assurance to ensure optimal policy implementation. The aim of this study was to identify key governance challenges, needs and potential st…

Indicators for routine monitoring of effective mental healthcare coverage in low- and middle-income settings
High-quality information to measure the need for, and the uptake, cost, quality and impact of care is essential in the pursuit of scaling up mental health care in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The aim of this study was to identify indicators for the measurement of effective coverage of mental health treatment. We conducted a two-round Delphi study (n = 93 experts from primarily LMIC countries Ethiopia, India, Nepal, Nigeria, South Afri…
Challenges for Transformation
The proportion of individuals with mental disorders receiving evidence based treatments in India is very small. In order to address this huge treatment gap, programme for improving mental health care is being implemented in Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh, India. The aim of this study was to complete the situational analysis consisting of two parts; document review of Sehore district mental health programme followed by a qualitative study. The …
Challenges and Opportunities for Implementing Integrated Mental Health Care
BACKGROUND: Little is known about how to tailor implementation of mental health services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to the diverse settings encountered within and between countries. In this paper we compare the baseline context, challenges and opportunities in districts in five LMICs (Ethiopia, India, Nepal, South Africa and Uganda) participating in the PRogramme for Improving Mental health carE (PRIME). The purpose was to inform…
Acceptability and feasibility of using non-specialist health workers to deliver mental health care
Three-quarters of the global mental health burden exists in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet the lack of mental health services in resource-poor settings is striking. Task-sharing (also, task-shifting), where mental health care is provided by non-specialists, has been proposed to improve access to mental health care in LMICs. This multi-site qualitative study investigates the acceptability and feasibility of task-sharing mental healt…

Association between biomass fuel use and maternal report of child size at birth - an analysis of 2005-06 India Demographic Health Survey data
Use of biomass fuels is associated with child size at birth. Future studies should investigate this association using more direct methods for measurement of exposure to smoke emitted from biomass fuels and birth weight
P2-476 Association between maternal exposure to biomass smoke and birth weight
Introduction Observational epidemiological studies and a systematic review have consistently shown the association between maternal exposure to biomass smoke and reduced birth weight. Methods We analysed 47 139 most recent singleton births of 2005–2006 India DHS. Information on birth weight was obtained from health card or mothers' recall. “size of baby” at birth in a fivefold classification was re-coded as “smaller than average” and “average or …
